I'm still wrapping my head around the insane decision by Sony to proudly announce they will be stopping printing physical discs in 2028. But it got me thinking about something aside from the current conversation around ownership and physical media (which are and will always be important).
What are leaving behind for our immediate friends, family and close connections?
This last week I've decided to start keeping a physical journal as I move into some new life changes and I've found myself thinking more and more about what the eventual and hopeful reader of my ramblings will see and feel. How raw do I go? Is brutal honesty the best over a good story and historical accuracy? By pairing this with a more intentional mind towards photographing I hope this leaves a document of who I actually was and will be, rather than trying to piece together a digital footprint or whatever else comes around.

it's so cool that you've decided to start a journal! As someone who has kept journals for the vast majority of my life, I always go for both honesty and length. When I get in the zone, I'm able to put my thoughts on paper in extreme detail, with complete honesty. Basically, when trying to make a decision or expressing my feelings about something that happened to me, I record my exact train of thought, not leaving anything out. Being genuine in my writing makes for both a very satisfying journalling session and a very interesting read later on!
When I want to just talk about a cool day I had, I get more flowery and just emphasize the parts of the day that were awesome!
Hey,
Really appreciate the advice on this and seeing what works for you! I think that approach is what I'm looking for, something solid that I can look back on and understand where I was.
